double sided foam tape removal

My Sub has those black mouldings that run down the side of it. It is held on by that double sided foam tape. For those of you that have removed it, how did you do it? I have before, but it is a real pain. I am looking for an easier way.Any suggestions?

/forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifif you go to a parts store there is a wheel you put in a drill it is made of solid rubber it works good for that i use one at work all the time /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

Have you tried carb cleaner?? It will take of the wax though... also you can try a decal remover spray.. found it at a paint store...on last idea.. use a heat gun, it works really well.. you can get one at a hobby shop, they are used to shrink film on rc airplanes.. a hair dryer wont get hot enough

Decal remover is acetone. It comes as "decal remover" in spray cans and in squeeze bottles with an ice-scraper looking fitting on it. Some acetone, shop rags, and some elbow grease and you'll get it cleaned up in no time.

Goof Off is good stuff, but it will remove the paint. (As well as most of the above mentioned solvents /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif)

If you just want to get the adhesive stuff off without removing the wax, clearcoat, and paint - use Goo Gone. It's a citrus based adhesive dissolver (not solvent based) and it works really well!! Get it at the local hardware store.
